Notes: The Nominal Rolls of the Canadian Expeditionary Force are described by Library and Archives Canada as the "lists of soldiers on strength with the unit on a particular date. They were generally created in the course of a unit's formation in Canada, often in preparation for departure overseas. Five copies of nominal rolls (army form MFW 20) were to be prepared by the regimental adjutant. Two were submitted to the headquarters of the Military District in which the unit was raised (one of which was to be forwarded to the Department of Militia and Defence in Ottawa). Three were to accompany the unit overseas. The first page was to contain a list of officers, arranged in order of rank. Other ranks followed on succeeding pages, arranged in alphabetical order, showing full name, rank, and regimental number.
The 154th Infantry Battalion "Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders" were organized in Cornwall, Ontario in 1915. The battalion provided reinforcements for the Canadian Corps in the field from October 31, 1916 until January 1, 1917 when it was absorbed by the 6th Reserve Battalion.
